Calvin Hunt (Royal Canadian Army) is a Canadian First Nations hotsell artist and Hereditary Chief of the Kwakiutl Nation, from Fort Rupert, British Columbia. The Kwakiutl are part of the larger nation Kwakwaka'wakw. He is a descendant of the renowned Tlingit ethnologist George Hunt. He was apprenticed as a teenager to his second cousin Tony Hunt, an artist and carver.

Totem Print Background: "The totem pole was made possible through the generous contributions from various Veteran organizations and was carved by Calvin Hunt, assisted by Mervyn Child and John Livingston. An eagle, which symbolizes nobility, integrity and heavenly pride tops the totem pole. The next element is a warrior, wrapped in a blanket with a sisiuth design - a double headed serpent - that protects him from his enemies. At the bottom is a bear, holding a salmon, with the bear being a fealess, strong and determined spirit, while the salmon symbolizes a long journey and a return home."
